Great idea, Ms Crow. [You go first.] Be sure to read the comments; the whole world is snickering. Tip from the Drudge Report.Update (24 April). We’ve gone w-a-a-y past snickering. Tip from the Instapundit. Update (29 April).  The Discerning Texan had a great cartoon on this topic. Read more

========================================================================================to: viewerservices@msnbc.comNBC’s decision to air the material provided by mass murderer Cho Seung-Hui was unspeakably vile. You are dead to me: not a minute on TV, not a click on the web, not an utterance of your cursed name. Your paychecks should turn to ashes on your serpent tongues. May your enterprise fail, and your… Read more

…especially this week. Student protesters here at UTSA got a bit out of hand when Chris Simcox, Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, came to speak. Heaven help us if they’re majoring in art or communications. I presume neither of the two in the photo have any immediate plans of running for elective office. Update (19 April). … Read more

The SUV carrying Gov. Jon S. Corzine was traveling about 91 mph moments before it crashed. No seat belt, not a peep about it from the State Trooper driving the SUV, flashing lights to bully everyone aside, on the way to a meeting the Governor had no business attending.

Never mind the poor devil has lived there all his life, and now can’t afford the property taxes since the Edwards californicated* the neighborhood. Too bad about the cancer, and I do hope she beats it, but Mrs Edwards is white trash with money, and money doesn’t… Read more

Oscar winner Al Gore has been busted for leaving the lights on when he leaves the room: he paid $29,268 in gas and electric bills last year. " Armed with Gore’s utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research…" has symbolically wrapped Big Al’s Oscar with his utility bills and… Read more

Some top Democrats don’t know when to keep their dumb ideas to themselves. Even I have flirted with the idea of voting for Hillary for President. But if the Dems intend to backfill her Senatorial seat with what-the-meaning-of-is-is Bill, I’m outta there. One Clinton in government is just annoying; four or more years of listening… Read more

The folks over at the Corner are having a great time trashing the thesis of Dinesh D’Souza’s latest book, The Enemy at Home.  Andrew Stuttaford hit a home run (at least in my ballpark) with this gem: there is something in human nature that is drawn to violent religious fanaticism of the worst kind (usually… Read more

Princess Pelosi wants her own private Air Force jet to fly her and her posse cross-country. I suggest the Air Force assign her one of these, which can seat up to 92 passengers (64 in full jump gear).
